However, the poem begins to show objection amongst the female character indicating “strange low sobs that shook their common bed”. The woman cries slowly as the man makes his light quivers because she is not afraid as she does not physically resent the action but, out of imminent binding to her relationship. She does not love her husband as he also knows of this fact he is hesitant. The simile in line 5 “And strangled mute, like little gaping snakes,” is analogous to the helplessness of the situation.

She knew this about herself and was highly criticized for it. This means that she failed to be objective in several instances.A few good poems to use to capture her struggle with relationships might be these: "Mirror","By Candlelight" ,"Mary's Song".

The poems I will be discussing are “Brothers” by Andrew Forster and “Sister Maude” by Christina Georgina Rossetti. “Sister Maude” is a poem written from the point of view of a woman who has been betrayed by her sister.

Throughout the poem the narrator refers to her sister in a profoundly negative way saying that she “lurked to spy and peer” suggesting that Maude is sneaky and nosy.

Blanche's biggest flaw in the play is her desire. This desire arises because of her constant loneliness which she puts up with after her husband's tragic death.
The theme that exemplified the most in the novel was the theme of loneliness, which took apart Curley’s wife.

With an unequal marriage and a woman which let her self-expression ruin her, was the short story "The Yellowwallpaper," a great story to talk about the theme of gender. The theme of gender also has to do with how far the story dates back which is in the 1800's, this focusing on how much pain this woman is in with no place to run. Gilman narrates the story to let the reader have a better look at what this woman is feeling and how she reacts to her surroundings. She actually turns to her husband whom which is a doctor and her companion and he dismisses the notion of her mental illness. He sort of traps her in a controlled space by taking her to a secluded house with no human contact besides her sister, Jennie, and himself who both look at her illness in the same way.
This would have been out of her frustration and pathetic state of her being. Her suicide is like a consequence of refusing to be the female role of society, or as they would call it, “Victorian Women”. Edna basically chooses death as an escape for her not being able to have independence. Edna seems to be stuck between certain females in her society. This is what creates isolation, lonely feelings to in the end due to her suicide.
